The bullets whizzed past Spencer’s head, she ducked. Throwing her arms over her head for protection, everyone else was screaming and dropping to the ground but her mouth wouldn’t open. Ashley…oh god…Glen, Clay…Aiden…Kyla…Madison! Spencer wondered where every one was. Car tires squealed in the parking lot as the shooters took off.

At the hospital Glen sat next to his sister, the two of them were surrounded by several of their friends. Chelsea was crying on Glen’s shoulder and Aiden was next to Kyla the two trying to set things aside for the time being.

“Spencer, Glen…” Paula rushed in, her and Arthur had been having there own night alone and didn’t hear the phone ring for at least two hours. She grabbed Spencer in her arms, the teenager felt stiff and calm. Her eyes were red and puffy put no longer was she crying.

“Dad…” Glen hugged his father who gratefully hugged back.

“Where’s Clay?” Paula asked. She released Spencer and grabbed Glen while Arthur took his daughter in his arms.

“He…he’s in surgery.” Glen choked out, “Madison…she was shot too and…” he trailed off as he glanced at Spencer.

“Glen what?” Arthur asked.

“Ashley…she’s…” Glen pulled his eyes from Spencer and leaned closer to his father, “She’s dead.”

Paula hears and immediately hugs Spencer again, “Honey I’m so sorry.”

“I’m all right.” Spencer lies and her family knows right away but lets it slid for now.

“I’m going to see if I can find anything about Clay.” Arthur rushes toward the nurse’s station.

“Tell me what happened?” Paula asked while making her children sit back down.

“The car…” Spencer spoke for the first time in several hours; this caused Aiden and Kyla to look over.

“What car sweetie?” Paula pushed hair from Spencer who quickly stood and walked toward the bathroom, “What car?” she asked anyone there who would answer.

“We don’t know.” Kyla spoke wiping tears from her eyes.

“It came out of nowhere.” Aiden side glanced his girl friend or who he hoped was still his girlfriend. After the shooting she was the first person he thought of, he knew right then that he just didn’t want to lose Ashley as a friend but now he had. Tears threatened to spill but he held back.
